How to disable the mobile Internet service on a megaphone. When do you need to turn off the Internet on Megafon? Description of the “MegaUnlimit” option

22.02.2021Heading: Second

Read this article to the end and you will find out why it is important to turn off the Internet if you stop using it and how to do it?

What happens if you don’t turn off MegaFon’s mobile Internet? It may happen that a debt forms on the SIM card balance, which you will be required to pay by law. If you do not plan to use this SIM card at all, it is better to block it, and when necessary, purchase a new one. ( how to block - read this). This is the safest method for the subscriber. If the SIM card is not needed only for a while (1 or 2 months), then you can temporarily block it through.

First, I want to tell you about the changes. Before January 1, 2013, the principle for charging the subscription fee was as follows:

2. If there is at least 1 ruble on your balance, the subscription fee is debited in full. Debt is created.
3. If there is no money on your balance, the subscription fee is not debited.
4. If the subscription fee has been written off and no money has been received into the account within a month, but it only arrived a month later, then the subscription fee will be debited in full again.
5. If a debt has accumulated on the account, but you have not used the Internet, it is not a fact that you will be able to return the money, you may have to pay the debt, and there is no deception here, all the rules comply with the agreement. This is the number of times I am personally convinced that every contract, even for 1 kopeck, is worth reading carefully.
Moreover, similar rules were the same for the Big Three operators. It is quite obvious that such rules led to significant problems for subscribers (I myself found myself in this situation a couple of times - I didn’t use the Internet, but I had to pay). Well, that’s what the subscription fee is for.
What changed on January 1, 2013?

A lot has changed in a positive direction, but nevertheless, you still need to turn off MegaFon’s mobile Internet, just in case.

Next you will understand why:
1. The subscription fee is charged in full.
2. If there are not enough funds on the balance to charge the subscription fee, Internet access is blocked until disconnected unlimited internet or until the balance is replenished. It depends on which event comes first.
3. If no money has been credited to your balance within a month, the unlimited Internet option is disabled automatically. When using the Internet after a month, tariffs are charged for each megabyte in accordance with tariff plan.
4. If the payment for the Internet arrived on the date the subscription fee was written off, and 2, 3 weeks later, then the subscription fee is debited on the day the payment is received and the next time it will be debited a month from the date of payment.
5. Debt is no longer formed on the balance sheet.
However, there is one small and not obvious pitfall: if the subscriber did not bother to read these terms in the contract and topped up the balance a month after the subscription fee should have been charged (that is, when the unlimited Internet was already disabled), and then used the Internet (for example, downloaded a couple of movies), then the money deposited on the balance will be spent and in order to return it, you will have to spend a lot of nerves :(.
In my opinion, the most ideal scheme for charging subscription fees is with wireline providers. Daily, in equal shares depending on the number of days in the month. Every day my provider takes 16 rubles and if there is not enough money on my balance, the Internet simply does not work. I top up my balance and it works immediately.

How to disable MegaFon mobile Internet?

Find out which unlimited internet option you have connected to? *225*2#. You will receive an SMS with the name of the option. Dial *236# and find the option in the list. We confirm the disconnection. An SMS must be sent.

Call the MegaFon operator. Yes, this can be difficult to do, so I wrote a special article.
Office visit. Be sure to bring either a passport or a SIM card with you. Both are better.

Often, after debiting a large sum of money from an account, an unlucky subscriber has a question: on Megafon? The main problem here is that whether you use the service or not, you are charged. At first it's not noticeable. But a month later, you realize that there is an overspending of funds, which is associated with services that you used for a short time and then forgot to turn off. All possible options The implementation of this operation will be discussed within the framework of this article. Attention is also paid to Internet connection.

Setting it up

First you need to use Megafon. In most cases, everything happens automatically. When you turn on your phone or smartphone for the first time in the mobile operator’s network, the search system starts required parameters in his database. As soon as they are found, they are sent to the subscriber. Next, they need to be accepted and saved. In some extremely rare cases this does not happen. Either the device is not certified, or required settings not yet in the database. How to set up unlimited Internet on Megafon, for example, in such a situation? We call the operator at 0500 and ask to send the necessary data. Then we accept them and save them.

As a last resort, you can do everything manually. To do this, go to and create new profile. We give him a name to suit his taste. In the APN field enter internet. We set the MCC and MNC parameters to “250” and “03” respectively. We leave all other values at default. After accepting the settings, it is recommended to reboot the device. Next, you need to activate the data service. This can be done in two ways: by calling the operator or using a request. The first method is simpler, so it is recommended to use it. We call the same number 0500 and fill out an application. When activating the service, you will receive a text message.

Why do you need to turn it off?

Before turning off the Internet on Megafon, let's find out why it is important to do this. There is only one problem: the daily withdrawal of the subscription fee. That's not a lot in one day. But if you collect the amount in a month, then everything will fall into place. Therefore, in order to avoid getting into such an unpleasant situation, it is recommended to disable this service in cases where you do not need it.

Operator

The easiest way to solve this problem is to call the operator. In this case, the algorithm is as follows. As soon as access to the global web is no longer needed, we call the operator at the same number 0500. After establishing a connection, please disable this service for this number. As soon as all the necessary actions are completed, you will receive a text message informing you that the Internet is disconnected. The main advantages of calling an operator are simplicity and accessibility. Also, nothing will be deducted from your account for this.

We use the request

Another simple way to disable Internet access is to use special requests. Their format depends on the tariff plan used and can be as follows:

*105*450*0# - unlimited for telephone.
*105*282*0# - unlimited for a smartphone with 70 MB.
*105*980*0# - unlimited for a smartphone with 100 MB.
*105*981*0# - unlimited for a smartphone with 200 MB.

At the end, be sure to press the “Call” button. Next you should receive a message stating that the provision of such a service for this number has been suspended.

Service Guide

Another way to disable the Internet on Megafon is to use the Service Guide system. Using it, you can also refuse this service on the Internet. In this case, the procedure for deactivating access to the global web is as follows. First you need a computer or laptop that is connected to the Internet. Then we launch the browser and go to the official website of the Megafon operator. Select your region in the appropriate one. Next, we need to register. To do this, click on the inscription “Personal Account”. A window will open in which we enter the number mobile phone, password and captcha. This is done once upon first login. Next, simply enter your phone number and password in the appropriate fields on home page. Then the main window of the Service Guide system will open. Here we find the “Services and Tariff” section. In it, select “Change tariff options”. We find the ordered services and turn off the checkbox next to them. After this we log out of the system. In most cases, a message appears almost immediately indicating that Internet access has been disabled, but sometimes it takes time.

Let's sum it up

Within the framework of this material, three ways were described on how to disable the Internet on Megafon. The easiest way to do this is for an unprepared subscriber using a regular phone call operator by phone 0500. If you know the request format, then it is much more convenient to use it. And it’s more difficult to do all this using the Service Guide system. You should pay attention to it only as a last resort.

Many subscribers use the XS Internet service; it is characterized by a low subscription fee.

The amount of which depends on the user’s region.

If there is no control over independently downloaded information, then such an update is charged according to the terms of the tariff plan and can be quite expensive for the client. And the Internet XS service allows you to avoid such troubles.

In addition, if there is no need to download a large amount of information daily, there are several ways to disable Internet XS on Megafon at any time convenient for the client.

If unlimited Internet is set for access via a computer, then you can disable it using the service guide or the same set of commands via the phone. In this case, it is important to understand which package is connected.

Sometimes Megafon subscribers use the “Extend speed” function even when they are outside the country. It makes it possible to extend megabytes of traffic and use the Internet more than regular package services.

You can disable the unlimited Internet option on Megafon through your personal account on the company’s website or by sending an empty message to the number 000105906.

A one-click request will also help you deactivate the Internet - *752 and the call key.

To disable the option, it is important to understand in which region the SIM card is registered, since requests from a combination of numbers may differ.

These are the simplest and most convenient ways to disable network access. They can be used not only on the territory of the Russian Federation, but also abroad.

According to Megafon statistics, the majority of subscribers use the mobile Internet very actively. Tariff plans that are provided to clients have unlimited traffic, but this is only conditional.

After a certain number of gigabytes have been used, the speed is reduced to 64 KB. Therefore, for constant communication with outside world, specialists have developed the “Auto-Traffic Renewal” service.

Subscribers from any region can use this option, but this will cost additional money.

The “Auto-renewal of traffic” option can only be enabled on the “Turn On” and “All Inclusive” tariff plans. Clients who activate this service have 200 megabytes of additional traffic.

The function is triggered immediately after the main traffic is used up. In this case, a certain amount of money is automatically debited from the account. The connected package will be valid until the traffic is reset.

The auto-renewal feature is deactivated if the subscriber switches to new tariff All inclusive family. In this case, unused megabytes are burned. To receive additional traffic, the function must be re-enabled.

If Megafon clients do not want the option to connect automatically, the service can be disabled. To do this, there are the following options:

There is no fee for disabling the Internet Auto Renewal service.. If necessary, packages can be reactivated.
